My thirty first for episode 31

Terminator belongs to 20th Century Fox

Robocop belongs to MGM

Death Battle belongs to Screwattack

RWBY belongs to Rooster Teeth and Monty Oum (R.I.P)

Note: After this episode, then it's back to Samurai Jack. Get ready for RWBY to watch Jack face off against the Three Blind Archers!

Oh, and I decided Penny will be watching the shows too. I made a unique way in how she will watch them.

Enjoy the episode!

RWBY was very excited for the next episode because it showed robots and cyborgs! Besides,

"Last episode for tonight and I'm gonna catch some Zs." Yang announced.

Ruby puts in the next disc and hits play.

(Cues Invader - Jim Johnston)

RWBY sees an awesome futuristic city that even makes Atlas look primitive.

Boomstick: Sci-fi movies have taught me two very important things; 1, I want my own lightsaber.

"I agree with the lightsaber!" Ruby said.

"Every year, Atlass is making new kinds of tech for the future." Weiss added. "I'm interested what this episode will introduce that may catch our interests."

Boomstick: And 2; the future blows.

Wiz: It's unavoidable. The warrior of the next millennium is the machine.

"Based on the constant development and manufacture of Atlassian Knights, along with cybernetics made for people, I have a speculation in the distant future that machines will take over." Blake deduced but she's positive it won't happen for a long time. Ruby is aware of Penny being a robot and Penny is just the first example of possible robotic warriors.

Wiz: Such as the Terminator, the time-traveling metal assassin.

Boomstick: And Robocop, Detroit's cyborg defender.

Wiz: These mechanized combatants have fought before but never in a holds-barred, one-on-one duel to the death.

"Wait. These two fought before?" Yang said in question and with interest.

"Looks like it. This may be interesting since we are seeing who's gonna win this time by facts at least." Blake said

Boomstick: Or without "brand restrictions". He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick.

Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor and skills to find out who would win a Death Battle.

(Cues The Terminator (1984) - Main Theme)

Wiz: In the distant future of 2004, the government deployed the world's first automatic defense network, Skynet, to keep everybody on the planet safe and happy.

"And then it all goes wrong." Yang, Blake, and Weiss all said at the same time since they had the feeling that making an automatic defense network always results everything going wrong.

Boomstick: So Skynet used the world's nuclear arsenal to annihilate most of humanity and take over the world.

"Yep. Giving an AI enough intelligence and sentience to rebell against humanity is no doubt the deathwish." Blake answered without missing a beat.

"Don't people ever learn?" Ruby asked since there have been many stories that has happened countless times before.

Boomstick: The age of machines had begun.

A human skull gets crushed under a metallic foot which was a bit symbolic in some ways (such as the human race exterminated and replaced by a new race). The camera moves up and reveals the first combatant; a humanoid, metallic, robot covered in a metal exoskeleton, human-shaped feet, a head that resembles a human skull (with red optics that give it a scary appearance), and it's wielding some kind of advanced looking weapon. RWBY was both awed and intimidated by this cool and creepy looking machine.

Wiz: To combat the remaining human resistance, Skynet developed a specialized breed of robotic soldiers.

Boomstick: Affectionately called the Terminator

Terminator
______________________________
BACKGROUND

Cyberdyne Research Systems 850 Model 101 Infiltration-Combat Unit

Manufacturer: Skynet

Height: 1.88 m / 6'2" (as tall as Fox Alistair)

Weight: 172 kg / 380 lbs

Core component: Coltan

Power source: 2 hydrogen fuel cells

Always comes back
______________________________
Wiz: Standing 6'2" and weighing almost 400 pounds, the T-850 is a cybernetic organism; living tissue surrounding a hyper-alloy endoskeleton.

What really surprised RWBY was that the robot is also covered in skin and hair to look exactly like a human! Ruby realized Penny isn't the only cybernetic being with skin and hair to hide her metallic insides.

Weiss, Blake and Yang were actually impressed that Atlass hasn't been able to make robots that appear almost like an exact human while Skynet was able to do so (Ruby stayed silent to keep Penny's promise).

Wiz: This made the perfect disguise, capable of infiltrating enemy ranks with it's human visage.

Boomstick: Basically, the whole point of the Terminator was to blend with normal people and then kill them.

"That does sound like a robot Atlas would try to invent and use... but that might cause paranoia for people as a robot blends in with people." Blake said. (And guess what happened during one of the finals at the Vytal Tournament.)

Boomstick: Yes, because two time powerlifting champion, ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER is totally your average guy!

They see a young Arnold, who looks very buff, has a record of being a very strong guy. Yang slightly blushed a bit of those muscles while also being impressed how tough this guy is. Not even Yatsuhashi or any other guy RWBY knows is as buff as Arnold here.

Wiz: Sure, but only the model 101 Class looked like that.

RWBY realizes the model of the machine is based off of this guy by appearance, including body shape, facial structure, and even the hair and skin complexion.

Wiz: The Terminator has hundreds of different possible faces.

Boomstick: What was that one designed for? Attracting women and making men feel inadequate?

Terminator is walking down a hallway and past a guy who looks at him in both awe and fear.

Guy in hallway: Damn!

RWBY chuckled at that.

Wiz: Using time displacement equipment, the Terminator was sent back in time to stop Skynet's greatest rival, John Connor, leader of the human resistance.

From what Wiz said, RWBY realized the meaning of the Terminator's mission.

"He's trying to prevent the humans to rebel by going back in time to prevent this John Connor from ever leading the human rebellion." Blake said as she figured what's the robot's purpose was.

"But would that also mean he would cease to exist if he succeeded in killing John since they didn't have to send him there because he's dead?" Yang asked which caused a lot of confusion but this was kind of true the Terminator would cease to exist if he did finish his mission.

Time traveling is difficult to understand sometimes.

"I'd rather watch this than get a headache." Weiss responded which they decided to agree on since they wanna see the Terminator's bio.

Boomstick: This model was first sent to super-abort John Connor.

The Terminator is pointing a gun at a young woman. Based on what Boomstick has said, the lady is presumed to be John's mother which shocked RWBY.

Boomstick: Then protect John Connor.

Now he's protecting a young John Connor in his early teens.

"Wait. What?" Weiss and Ruby said.

Boomstick: Then protect John Connor again.

Now John is an adult.

"First he wanted to kill John and now he's protecting him?" Yang questioned.

"Not enough explanations.... at least not yet." Blake added.

Boomstick: And blow up this bitch.

Terminator is wrestling with a female robot.

Terminator: You are terminated.

Both the Terminator and his robotic opponent explode that levels the small mountain in the canyon. Weiss and Blake had wide eyes at what just happened while Ruby and Yang thought that was awesome.

Wiz: The T-850 is powered by twin hydrogen fuel cells.

Weiss had the most interest since Atlas has been studying and looking for solutions to invent new kinds of elements and sources to make alongside Dust.

Wiz: A single cell can last up to 120 years.

"120 years?!" Weiss and Ruby shouted in disbelief. Most Dust powered machines in industries and military ships only last for months to a few years. RWBY was impressed that a single fuel cell such as this would last more than a century.

Wiz: But extensive damage may rupture the cell to critical condition.

The cell did looked like it took damage as it shook and glowed uncontrollably.... and then it exploded that could level an entire building. RWBY jaw dropped by such a small device that could cause such destruction.

Boomstick: And it blows up like a small hydrogen bomb.

Wiz: Similar to the explosion that brought down the Hindenburg.

They see a blimp catching fire and exploding.

"I'm a bit surprised that they would invent something that risks getting yourself blown up."

"I wonder how Earth has been able to invent power sources like that." Yang said.

"We may never know." Blake answered while Ruby was still excited at how awesome a fuel cell can explode.

Boomstick: Luckily, for Arnie, he can ditch a damaged cell before that happens, and he works just fine with only one left. Like Lance Armstrong without the steroids.

RWBY has never heard of steroids or don't know who Lance is so they moved on.

______________________________
Wiz: The Terminator is programmed with an abundance of subroutine data, including Skynet's extensive logs on all combat and weaponry throughout Earth's history. This even includes data on all previous T-800 models.

RWBY was impressed again that the T-850 units are even more advanced than Atlestian Knights by logs related to combat and weaponry.

"I bet Ironwood would be jealous of Skynet having robots more advanced and capable than the Atlestian Knights." Weiss said which everyone agreed.

Wiz: Through this, he technically has more experience and skill than any human being could ever possibly achieve.

Yang saw the Terminator riding an awesome motorcycle and she thins that's awesome as he is wearing those cool shades.

"Man, if the Atlestian Knights could also do that.... then huntsman and huntresses would be obsolete. Glad they can't do that" Yang said in relief since the thrill of the adventures she wants to do would be thrown out the window. The other girls agreed.

Boomstick: But while he's a master in all weaponry, he does have his favorites.

"Yay! Now we can see the weapons!" Ruby said with her arms in the air since she was waiting for the awesome weapons.

______________________________
(Cues Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines - T3)

Boomstick: In the future, the Terminator wields an M-27 Phased Plasma Rifle, which is too heavy and powerful for any other ordinary person to use.

Ruby stares at the plasma rifle in excitement since plasma guns are a rare weapon for even high ranked huntsman to wield.

Boomstick: When the time period doesn't have any space guns lying around, his weapons of choice include a Hardballer Longslide pistol.

The pistol even had a lasersight to it which Ruby really loved that one. Blake also had interest too since she's very skilled with handguns.

Boomstick: A 12-gauge Franchi shotgun.

Ruby was wide eyed at the cool shotgun and Yang also favored it since her Ember Celica are shotgun gauntlets.

Boomstick: A portable M79 grenade launcher.

The T-850 fires a grenade into a police car which explodes. Ruby and Yang had big grins on their faces of how awesome the explosion was, despite it being that of a police car.

Boomstick: And the beautiful M134 minigun.

Now the robot is firing a minigun at police cars out of the window of a building with a emotionless look on his face while Ruby drools at the beautiful sight of that awesome weapon.

Boomstick: Oh man, just looking at it makes me feel wonder pants feelings.

Weiss and Blake facepalmed at what Boomstick just said while Yang was laughing.

Wiz: Speaking of feelings, the Terminator is a learning machine, adapting to human behavior through observation and interaction. It can learn to genuinely feel sad.

Weiss, Blake and Yang was also intrigued that this machine can learn and adapt by human interaction, something that even the Atlestian Knights are unable to do. Ruby, however, knew the only other robot that has emotions is Penny who also has been adapting over time with human interaction and even is human on the inside despite being a robot.

Wiz: Which is odd since Skynet designed it to be a merciless mass murderer.

"Thank goodness Penny's father and Ironwood made her to be a sweet friend that she is now." thought in her mind.

They see a pre-teen John stopping the Terminator from murdering some guy.

John: Jesus, you're gonna kill that guy!

Terminator: Of course, I'm a Terminator.

RWBY wasn't really surprised since that was mentioned before.

John: Just put up your hand and say "I won't kill anyone."

After a few seconds.

Terminator: *Puts up his hand and speaks in a borderline emotionless tone* I swear I will not kill anyone.

RWBY couldn't help but chuckle since he sounds like he's not taking it seriously.

The Terminator shoots a guard in the knee as the guard falls over and yells in pain.

Terminator: He'll live.

"At least he didn't kill him." Ruby said but they were a bit disturbed the Terminator would injure a guard without killing him like that. Yang even sneezed when she saw the guard get shot in the knee and felt a sense of suspicion for some reason.

Boomstick: Sad or not, the Terminator is a beast in combat.

FEATS

Smashed through a building

Has tricked humans & machines alike

Killed the technically superior T-900s, T-1000 & T-X (which really impressed RWBY)

Escaped liquid nitrogen freeze twice

Can life several cars (some huntsman can do that)

Program survived & revived after T3

Successfully killed John Conner
______________________________
Boomstick: He's even taken down superior models like the next gen T-900s.

The T-900s looked more advanced but RWBY was impressed he can fight them.

Boomstick: The nearly invincible, T-1000.

The T-1000 appears to be made of some kind of liquid metal since it can shapeshift and also getting it's head blown off but regenerates in an instant.

Boomstick: And even the T-X, which is actually an anti-Terminator.

The T-X resembles a female version and looks far more advanced, including a blaster gun for an arm and other gadgets the T-850 lacks.

Wiz: The Terminator is a master marksman with advanced analysis, calculative, and observational tools.

"Wow. More so than the Knights." Weiss said impressed.

Wiz: He can survive massive blows, power shortages, and getting dragged through an entire city.

"You know what. Ironwood is so gonna be jealous if he finds out that there are robots more advanced and tougher than the Atlestian Knights." Blake said which the girls giggled. Indeed. The Knights, despite being the recent models, are still fairly fragile when attacked by the Grimm (And we saw what an Alpha Beowolf can do to one) and are only able to use their own weapons to fight.

Wiz: Plus, after the last T-800 was melted in a steel mill, Skynet upgraded his titanium endoskeleton to coltan which can withstand temperatures over 3,000 degrees celsius.

"Damn. That's a very tough metal to endure heat." Yang admitted. Their are some metals in Remnant that can withstand heat which are quite useful against fire dust users.

Boomstick: Why even bother making new terminators? The T-850 is clearly the best.

Deep down, RWBY does agree.

Terminator: *Aiming his gun* Hasta-La-Vista, baby. (Yang likes that line and decides to use it at the right time when fighting)

He shoots the frozen T-1000 which shatters into millions of shards.
______________________________
WEAKNESSES

Easily hackable (like the Atlestian Knights, sadly)

Detectable by dogs

Dangerous power source

Sometimes defeated by humans

Vulnerable to precise attacks from behind

Worst fear: Hydraulic press
______________________________
Wiz: Each Terminator is not unique, made by assembly for quick deployment. To save time, Skynet forgoes high end software. Leaving the Terminator easily hackable.

"Out of all the features in making it hard to destroy, Skynet decides to just skip the software protection." Blake said as if she's telling Skynet was overlooking one important fact. "That leads to one fatal mistake."

"From what my sister told me last week, Atlas has also been skipping the software protection on the Knights." Weiss admits with disdain because she also fears there's a risk the Knights and Paladins may also fall into the wrong hands if their software is infected with a virus or hacked..... guess what happened later on.

Wiz: In fact, the one T-850 who protected Connor on Judgement day was reprogrammed not once, but four separate times. Just screams lazy, lazy designs.

Ruby felt scared and concerned for Penny at the risk of ending up like that too. She decides to go meet Penny somewhere and talk to her about her risk of being infected or hacked.

Terminator is scrolls through different phrases to say and selects one.

Terminator: Fuck you, asshole.

Yang laughed at that since he said that as if saying it Wiz.

(Cues Terminator 2: Judgement day - Main Theme)

Boomstick: But it's a little hard to hack something that can kill you with one hand in 20 million different ways. The Terminator is one of the deadliest assassins in movie history. If you get in his way, don't bother running, you are already dead.

Terminator: I'll be back.

He did his promise.... by driving through the building and ramming the police officer with a car.

RWBY couldn't but admit the Terminator is both scary AND awesome. Ruby loves the machine itself along the weapons it wields. Weiss is impressed that Skynet has made a robot that has better armor and programming systems then what Atlas has been able to make so far (Though, the Terminator may not stand much of a chance against a Paladin, especially the recent models). Yang likes how badass the robot is in that outfit and those shades he wears along with his liners. Blake just admitted it's cool but she does feel afraid if the White Fang ever stole and hacked them for their own gains.

On with the next opponent.

(Cues Robocop 1987 - Rock Shop)

They see an adult male cop as he twirls his pistol with impressive skill.

Wiz: Alex J. Murphy was a good police officer with a good family.

RWBY felt touched by this but then felt sad that RWBY has their own struggles with their family. Ruby and Yang lost their respective mothers, their dad is depressed but thankfully getting better. Weiss has issues with her father. Blake..... Adam and the White Fang were the family she loved and knew until she realized what the White Fang does.... and she feared Adam when he's in a bad mood.

Wiz: As with many good cops, that all changed when he was transferred to Detroit, Michigan.

"I have the feeling this isn't gonna go well." Weiss said in slight worry..... how right she was.

Wiz: What began as a routine through the became the most important moment of Murphy's life....his death.

RWBY was caught off guard as his hand was blown off by a shotgun wielding mug.

Boomstick: HOLY SHIT!

RWBY starred with their mouths agape and sympathy as poor Murphy gets brutally torn apart by the thugs as they shoot him to death.... finished off by a headshot to the head. The even felt sick seeing so much blood.

Boomstick: Damn! That guy can eat more bullets than 50 Cent!

"Not funny, Boomstick!" All the four girls said at once.

Wiz: Murphy would have been 6 feet under, if the mega corporation, Omni Consumer Products, had not stepped in.

That name of the mega corporation did gave Weiss interest.

Wiz: By privatizing Detroit's police force, OCP technically owned Murphy's corpse.

"WHAT?!" RWBY all said in shock to this.

"They OWN his corpse?!" Blake said in disbelief.

"That sounds really messed up." Yang said in disgust.

Ruby felt so sad at companies owning bodies of the dead. It sounds wrong in every way as the bodies of the deceased deserve to be buried in memorial... just like her mother did on that cliff.

Boomstick: That doesn't seem legal at ALL.

"I'm agreeing with Boomstick." Weiss agreed. "There is no way companies can do this. Even Atlas would consider it wrong."

Wiz: With unchecked crime on the rise, OCP's....

RWBY is introduced to the executive who is also no doubt a pervert. All the girls were creeped out by this guy

Wiz: Uh.... forward thinking executive Bob Morton proposed a bailout plan so ridiculously absurd, it just might work.

"Then that leads to..." Ruby said.

Boomstick: They would rebuild Murphy. Better, stronger, with less flexibility, which of course means robo parts. The result was one bad motherfucker, RoboCop.

RoboCop

RoboCop is a sight to behold; He was covered head to toe in shiny metallic armor while also looking like a police officer. He wears a helmet helmet with a visor that covers his eyes but his lower face is revealed.

(Cues RoboCop Theme)

His theme song was awesome to hear as RWBY watches he easily shrugs off bullets and bends the muzzle of a gun, punching through a wall to catch a bad guy, and punches another bad guy hard enough to send him flying out the window.

"I called it. He's a badass!" Yang said and Ruby cheerfully agrees. Even Blake and Weiss admit he's cool and admire him stopping criminals.

Bob: What are your prime directives?

RoboCop: Serve the public trust. Protect the innocent. Uphold the law.

RoboCop confronted two thugs, one of them holding a woman hostage. What did RoboCop do? He shot below the woman as the bullet made a hole in her skirt but it didn't harm her as the bullet hit the guy.... right where the sun don't shine (Jaune, Ren, Fox, Yatsuhashi and team SSSN all cringed and tucked their legs tightly when they saw that).

Ruby, Weiss and Blake cringed at that while Yang wasn't as much and thought that was some impressive aiming skills.

Boomstick: With the durability of a tank and the firepower of a one man army, RoboCop was nearly annihilated all of Detroit's street crime and just a couple of days. The man was unstoppable.

Wiz: But was he man... or machine?

With his helmet off, they can see his face... that has no hair.... and it looks like his face is attached to a robotic head.

Male officer: That guy is good.

Female officer: He's not a guy, he's a machine.

That made RWBY wonder.

______________________________
Wiz: RoboCop is 99% artificial, but he relies on the most complicated known machinery. A human brain.

"And that must be Murphy's brain." Blake stated.

Boomstick: Even after OCP tried to make him their own personal robo-pet, the man called Murphy still lived.

That actually surprised RWBY a bit. They thought his body was just an empty shell.... but Murphy is still alive.

Wiz: With no family, a contorted public image, and the constant threat of deactivation by his corporate owners, the struggle to regain his humanity would consume Murphy's every waking moment....

Hearing that made RWBY feel really sad and sorry for him. He gets killed and now he's revived as a cyborg and owned by a company that controls him like he's their puppet. It made RWBY feel angry at the company doing this to him.

Wiz: While also fighting crime. And that's just his good days.

"At least he's good at what he's doing for the better." Ruby said to lighten the mood.

______________________________
Boomstick: Fortunately, his cutting edge arsenal makes locking up the bad guys the easiest part.

"Yes! Now we can see the weapons again!" Ruby said in joy.

Boomstick: Housed in his nifty right leg is the custom Auto-9 machine pistol, one of the most powerful hand cannons ever made.

Ruby was drooling at the beautiful hand gun despite almost looking like a normal pistol. It even almost looked similar to Ironwood's own pistol he carries with him.

Boomstick: In his left leg, he's got several Tactical Ordnance grenades, each with an adjustable power level.

Wiz: At level 3, a single Ordnance can annihilate a metal security door. So just imagine what maximum level 10 can do.

"I would speculate at least street to building level, maybe." Blake said. Ruby had wide eyes at how awesome that is.

Boomstick: If he needs a bit more firepower, Murphy has an attachable weapon arm, complete with machine gun, flamethrower, and anti-tank smart bomb missile.

Yang was liking that weapon and Ruby was jittering in excitement at RoboCop's awesome arsenal.

Boomstick: And for those extra special moments, there's the Cobra Assault Cannon.

Ruby's eyes were filled with big stars and drooled even more as she saw the beauty of the cannon that resembled a sniper rifle.

Boomstick: Which goes boom, and then there's no more anything.

Robocop shoots the Cobra Assault Cannon at a bipedal mech that reminds RWBY of the Paladin... and the entire top of the mech is blown to smithereens.

Sitcom Guy: I'd buy that for a dollar!

The remains of the defeated mech collapse to the ground and twitches before it lays still.

"Wow...." Ruby said. The other girls were impressed a weapon could even take down a mech almost comparable to a Paladin.

Wiz: He also has a sub-sonic jetpack that which helps him jump sharks.

"What's jumping the shark?" Ruby asked in confusion since she heard it before while also liking the jetpack.

"It means that a certain moment happening means a series is suffering seasonal rot." Blake answered.

"Oh....." Ruby answered.

"She means that something added in a show isn't normally meant to be in it." Weiss added

Ruby thought for a moment.

"So RoboCop getting a jetpack means it was on purpose?" Ruby asked again.

"Form what Wiz said.... I guess." Yang said.

(That's my guess too)

Boomstick: I... I don't even....

Bad guy (William Ray Morgan): Where's your sense of humor?!

RoboCop: *Raises his fist* Right here.

He punches the guy in the face as he falls like a sack of potatoes and out cold. RWBY even laughed how cheesy and funny it was.

Boomstick: Jesus Christ.....

HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE

Terminal Strip

Rambolt

Armor

-Carbo-ceramic reinforced titanium

-Lamented kevlar

Thermograph

Complex targeting system

Voice stress analyzer

Video & audio recorder
______________________________
Wiz: Murphy is also equipped with state of the art hardware and software, including a thermograph, a video recorder, and a terminal strip for collecting data.

The strip even looked like a sharp shiv.

Boomstick: Or for ripping out throats! Just look at that thing!

RWBY even felt disturbed how graphic RoboCop is piercing a bad guy's throat with the strip as blood sprays everywhere.

Wiz: No wonder Detroit is falling apart! All their USB flash drives can double as shivs!

"Which is why we have scrolls." Weiss muttered.

Boomstick: Murphy's armor is made up of carbo-ceramic-reinforced-titanium with laminated kevlar. which basically means it'll pretty much stop anything.

They see RoboCop being assaulted by a SWAT team as they unload all their bullets on him but it doesn't seem to damage him in the slightest besides reacting to the kinetic impacts of the bullets.

Boomstick: It's like the Pepperidge packaging or armour.

RoboCop: I'm composed of titanium. I don't believe you are. *Draws his Auto-9* Your move.

The Swat team scatters.

"What a badass." Yang said as she was impressed with his one-liner.

Boomstick: Each leg has two ram bolts, which can anchor him into the ground to stop fleeing motor boats and speeding cars.

They watch RoboCop use the rambolts to stay in place as a car rams into him but the result was like speeding into a solid wall as RoboCop didn't even flinch.

"Dang. How tough is RoboCop? He must be a very hard nut to crack." Yang said impressed.

Wiz: He also has a targeting system so precise, he can catch and can even shoot bullets out of thin air.

RWBY jaw dropped that RoboCop has that much skill in sharpshooting at catching and shooting bullets out of the air.

"Even the most skilled marksman took years to perfect that." Weiss muttered in awe as Ruby and Yang thinks that is so awesome. Blake is also most impressed.

Boomstick: Expert marksman? More like master of the impossible!

Then RWBY was shocked that a criminal is holding a baby hostage as RoboCop is held back at the risk of the baby in jeopardy.

Criminal: Don't try to follow me!

RoboCop: We won't.

Criminal: The baby is going with me!

RoboCop: No.

Criminal: I'll kill it man! I'll do it! I'll fucking do it!

RWBY is really disturbed that a criminal would even threaten to kill a baby.

RoboCop: We can't have that.

RoboCop uses his targeting system to calculate the ricochet angle from a steel door nearby, then fires, which hits the criminal in the head with a pop. RoboCop's partner catches the baby to safety.

RWBY felt relieved he saved that baby.

"I felt so scared at the moment." Weiss muttered. All the other three agreed too.

______________________________
Wiz: Murphy has defeated plenty of technically superior combat machines and endured dozens of seemingly fatal situations. He's strong enough to lift a 10 ton armored door, tough enough to survive a bazooka.

Yang is impressed with his strength and durability, especially surviving a bazooka.

Wiz: Brave enough to plunge into a giant nuclear plant monster thing and kill it from inside...?

Wiz isn't joking again. RoboCop indeed plunged into.... whatever that thing is as he destroys it from within.

"I hope there isn't a grimm like that." Ruby shuttered. Her sister and other two friends agreed.

Boomstick: Note to self: remember to weed garden.

Wiz: And if that's not crazy enough for you, he's even rescued Sting from the Four Horsemen in WCW wrestling.... yes.... this is real.

While Ruby, Weiss and Blake were confused, Yang was actually grinning since she's a fan of wrestling.

"I think we've seen enough to define weird for tonight." Ruby muttered which Weiss and Blake nodded in agreement.

Boomstick: Murphy may be a walking tank, but he also moves like one. He's SOOOO SLOW!

RWBY realized and noticed that. They've never seen RoboCop do any speed feats. All he's been doing is moving slow and steady.

"Why would they make him slow if he's meant to fight crime?!" Weiss said in annoyance of how stupid it is to make a cop slow then he should actually be moving quicker.

Wiz: His main function is to chase the bad guys! You'd think OCP would've prioritize running legs over, say, his frisbee skills.

"Yeah, designing a cop to be slow, over everything else, is perhaps one of the dumbest thing I've ever heard and seen." Blake said.

"Yeah. Why did they make him so slow?" Yang questioned. They may never know.

WEAKNESSES

Requires daily power recharge

Slow mobility on foot (why he was designed like that is unknown)

Conflicts with his own programming (which RWBY can understand)

Not programmed for martial arts (Atlestian Knights are also like that)

Mechanized heart weak to impacts

Cannot escape liquid nitrogen freezing on his own

Possesses some vulnerable human organs
______________________________
Wiz: Also, Murphy's battery can only last about 24 hours without recharging. But consistent damage can quickly drain his power. In prolonged combat with someone his equal, Murphy is in constant danger of power failure.

"That sounds risky for him." Ruby sympathized.

Boomstick: To top it off, his human parts add extra vulnerability, which is stupid because it means he can even catch a common cold and...

RoboCop sneezes out a lightning bolt!

RWBY wasn't expecting that.

Boomstick: FUCKING SNEEZE LIGHTNING BOLTS OUT OF HIS FACE!

"I also wanna sneeze lighting out of my face!" Ruby shouted in excitement.

"No...." Weiss uttered as she remembered when she was scolding Ruby during the first day at Beacon.... with a bottle of dust in her hand.... guess what happened. Yang was amused and Blake didn't make a comment but smirked.

Boomstick: It doesn't matter how many flaws he's got, RoboCop is a badass!

RoboCop twirls his Auto-9 and puts it back in his leg as he walks off.

Owner: Nice shooting, son. What's your name.

RoboCop stops as he turns around and looks at the man who asks his name.

RoboCop: .... Murphy.

RWBY also began to deeply respect and admire Murphy. Ruby loves all the weapons, Yang is impressed with his strength and durability, both Weiss and Blake admire his duties in protecting people but they are also mad how OCP manipulates him and uses him as a machine. They feel sorry for Murphy struggling to regain his humanity.

On with the battles.

Wiz: All right. The combatants are set. Let's end this debate once and for all.

Boomstick: It's time for a robo Death Battle!
______________________________
RWBY sees a city (likely Detroit) in the middle of the night with the moon shining brightly in the sky. Cars are all driving through busy street until we come upon an empty street where a guns store takes place. Suddenly, the street lamps flicker as an unknown force consumes the gun store as electricity spreads everywhere. RWBY recognizes that since they earlier saw how the Terminator time traveled. Once everything died down, RWBY heard this.

Salesman: Holy shit! Hey, where'd you come from? How did you do that!

Terminator: Give me your guns... and your clothes. Now!

Due to the camera, RWBY can't see what's going on inside but they presume the Terminator lacks clothes and is demanding the weapons too.

Salesman: Whoa, hey buddy, that's not really my thing.

Yang snickered at that while Ruby was confused what the salesman really meant and didn't had time to ask as they heard the racket inside.

Salesman: Hey... what are you doing? Don't touch that!

Then they heard a scream as the building is engulfed up in flames which killed the poor salesman.

(Cues Terminator theme song)

The Terminator walks out of the store, in clothes, and cool shades as he's armed to the teeth with all those weapons.

(Cues RoboCop 3 - Death of Lewis)

A police car arrives in time as it screeches to a halt. The door open and the driver reveals himself to be none other than RoboCop. RoboCop walks forward and confronts this criminal he sees before him.

(RWBY also notices when he talks.... his lip synching is off)

RoboCop: Freeze, creep. You are under arrest. Come quietly or there will be...

He draws his Auto-9.

RoboCop: ... trouble.

Terminator draws his Hardballer as he analyzes RoboCop. He notices that RoboCop is classed as a cyborg and his threat level is very high. Also noting his titanium and kevlar armor and even his human organs.

Terminator: Negative. Walk away if you want to live.

RoboCop also analyzes his opponent. He classifies him as a cyborg with unknown origin, noting his weapons, even his hydrogen fuel cells and the danger posed if damaged.... and the cool sunglasses (which Yang approves).

RoboCop: You are coming with me, alive.... or dead.

RWBY watches in anticipation as the fight will decide who's the superior fighting machine.

FIGHT!

(Cues Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines - Terminator Tangle)

Terminator opens fire with his Hardballer but it had couldn't penetrate RoboCop's armor (and he didn't even flinch) as he fires back with his Auto-9, which proves to have better firepower since Terminator is staggering back. The T-850 regains his balance as he walks forward and ignores the onslaught of bullets as RoboCop also marches forward. One the two have gotten close enough, the Terminator discards his Hardballer and pulls out his shotgun, then he proceeds to shoot his opponent multiple times at point blank which actually knocks him back a bit.

Terminator: Out of my way.

He shoots RoboCop again and then hits him with the shotgun a few times with punches added to the mix. Murphy tries to shoot the Terminator but he catches his arm and avoids the shots as he counters. RoboCop twirls his gun and shoots the shotgun out of the Terminator's hands and fights up close... as he struggles to hold his ground because the Terminator easily dominates in close quarters combat.

"They did mention he's not programmed for martial arts." Blake noted.

RoboCop: *Lands a hit* Take that criminal scum- *gets punched in the face*

RoboCop found an opening as he shoots the robot assassin in the chest and punches him in the face.... which broke the cool shades the Terminator was wearing.

"I think you broke his favorite shades. Now he's pissed." Yang said.

She was right, the Terminator was indeed angry as he kneed RoboCop in the face twice, judo flipped him into the pavement hard enough to leave a crater, pummels him in the face three times, and finally tosses him into his own police car which broke the windshield. The Terminator gets out his grenade launcher and aims at the car.

Terminator: Hasta la vista.... baby.

Yang grinned at the awesome one liner as he shoots and the car explodes in flames with Murphy in it.

"I don't think he's done yet." Blake said since they know that RoboCop can tank more than that.

Indeed, RoboCop, with his flight pack, is now flying above the wreckage with the Cobra Assault Cannon in hand. Ruby grins ear to ear to watch that awesome weapon in action again.

RoboCop: Good news, scum.

He aims it right at the Terminator

RoboCop: You are no longer under arrest.

But RWBY can tell he isn't letting his opponent walk away.

He fires which hits the Terminator and sends him flying back several feet. The T-850 gets up and makes a run for it, as he realizes he's at a disadvantage. RoboCop gives chase as he continues to fire but the Terminator is able to avoid the shots as nearby cars explode and tumble in the air. Ruby was shouting how awesome this is getting and Yang agreed too.

"I kinda wonder if RoboCop remembers he's also supposed to avoid property damage. Glynda would be annoyed if something that happened in Beacon." Weiss said and the girls giggled since Glynda has to (with annoyance) clean up after every fight with her semblance.

RoboCop flies overhead and flies toward the Terminator who rolls out of the way in time before the shot hit. RoboCop then lost sight of Terminator and flies around the skyscrapers to look for him. Meanwhile, on one of the skyscrapers, the Terminator is climbing up the side to the top, to even the odds.

"Why didn't he go inside and use the stairs?" Ruby questioned.

"Because he's too awesome to use them." Yang joked but that likely wasn't the right answer.

RoboCop continues to search but still haven't found his enemy.

RoboCop: Hmm... do you plan on hiding forever?

He hears the sound of a minigun revving up.

Terminator: No.

Terminator unleashes a hail of bullets from his minigun which managed to hit RoboCop and sends him back while also losing his Cobra Assault Cannon (which Ruby cried in despair). Murphy now goes on the defensive as he dodges and scans the minigun. He finds a weakness. He shoots his Auto-9, and with impressive accuracy, he manages to shoot six bullets inside the 6 barrel pivots, jamming it (Coco takes note of that and plans to upgrade her own minigun to prevent that from happening to her own). The Skynet made machine discards the now useless minigun and draws his grenade launcher as he calculates the arc angle.

Terminator: Time to bring you down to Earth!

He manages to hit the flight pack which causes it to malfunction and cause RoboCop to scream in surprise and crash onto another skyscraper as the flight pack flies away to who knows where. Terminator now throws his grenade launcher aside and reloads his shotgun. RoboCop replaces his left arm with his Weapon Arm as Terminator jumps down.

RoboCop: Your move!

Terminator shoots but RoboCop retaliates with flamethrower (It's super effective!) which causes Terminator to stumble back as his face burns away and shows some of his metallic face.

RoboCop: Property damage. Resisting arrest. Assaulting an officer. Murderer, your hot streak ends here (Yang snickered at the pun).

Terminator: *Angry* Fuck you, dickwad!

RoboCop: You have the right to remain silent.

He thrust kicks the T-850 off the building and then aims at his falling opponent.

RoboCop: I suggest you exercise it.

He fires a smart bomb which sends the Terminator into a gas filled semi that causes a huge explosion that would rival Michael Bay explosions.

"Yeah! Explosions!" Ruby and Yang cheered.

(Cues Death by Fire/Terminator Gets Up - The Terminator 1984)

RoboCop lands on the pavement and looks towards the wreckage.

Inside the flames, the Terminator slowly gets up, now his clothes and skin have been burned away and with the shotgun in his left hand. What RWBY didn't expect was the Terminator opening his chest compartment and pulls a Plasma Rifle from within.

"I wasn't expecting that coming into the fight." Weiss muttered which Blake agreed. Yang and Ruby were actually excited to see that weapon.

Terminator open fires and two of the shots hit Murphy's weapon arm and leg, stunning them. RoboCop limps away to avoid more shots and hides behind a car. RoboCop counters by flipping the car (with one hand) and sends it flying at the metal assassin which lodges the Terminator's right arm between the car and wall. The T-850 has no choice but to tear it's own right arm off as it marches forward with the shotgun and open fires. (Yang felt somewhat scared watching him lose his right arm... but she doesn't know why)

(Cues Terminator 2 Theme)

RoboCop is forced back shot after shot as his visor gets a crack and he's nearly at his limit with his power core level at 5%. RoboCop scans for any weaknesses as he keeps getting forced back by the angry Terminator. Once RoboCop got cornered, the Terminator aims point blank and pulls the trigger..... nothing.

"Looks like someone forgot to count their shot limits." Blake pointed out.

RoboCop: Nine shots. You're out.

He pulls out a tactical ordnance grenade (from his right leg for some reason) at maximum level 10, attaches it to the Terminator while using the rambolts to stay in place and pulling out his Auto-9

RoboCop: Checkmate.

He shoots the grenade, causing another massive explosion. As the explosion cleared, RoboCop is more or less fine as he looks around for the Terminator.

"Is the Terminator dead?" Ruby asked.

Before anyone answered they saw that the Terminator isn't destroyed and is approaching RoboCop.... except that his entire lower half is gone and his head is twisted backwards as he slowly crawls towards RoboCop.

"Yep. He's gonna be dead in a second." Yang answered.

RoboCop walks over to the Terminator and picks him up y the neck as the metal assassin can't do anything.

RoboCop: What are you doing? This fight is over.

The Terminator answers by turning his head 180 and staring directly at RoboCop.

Terminator: Not... yet.

RoboCop looks down and horribly realizes something as RWBY did too.

RoboCop: Hydrogen fuel cells.... ruptured!

Terminator: You. Are. Terminated.

"If RoboCop can't get rid of him in time.... then I guess it's gonna be a draw." Weiss said. RWBY now feels the tension as the clock is ticking.

RoboCop looks around to find a way to get rid of the ticking time bomb that he's holding in his hand.

He found the solution.

The flight pack.

He walks over to the damaged jet pack and straps the Terminator in while the T-850 struggles to fight back but is finally strapped in and launched away as he gives out his final words.

Terminator: I'll... be.... BACK!

After that, the hydrogen fuel cells finally blew up, causing another Michael Bay-esque explosion in the sky as the screen goes white.

"Looks like he went out with a bang!" Yang said as the other three groaned at that pun.

Surprisingly, all was left was the Terminator's upper skull as it lands in front of RoboCop who twirls his Auto-9, puts it back in his right leg, and then smashes the skull under his metal foot as he walks away.

K.O!

RWBY was awed and impressed how tempting and epic the fight was. Ruby and Yang were cheering while Blake and Weiss admitted the fight was really awesome to watch. On with the results

Boomstick: I don't think he'll be back from that one.

Wiz: Terminator may have held the speed advantage, but RoboCop trumped everything else.

"That's a curbstomp battle if you asked me." Blake said.

Wiz: His arsenal certainly had more destructive force behind it.

All of RoboCop's weapons outclassed Terminator's. The only one that Terminator had better was the Plasma Rifle over RoboCop's flight pack.

Boomstick: You'd think the Terminator's space rifle would be enough, but RoboCop has tanked plasma shots before.

Wiz: In fact, the difference in survivability is very clear cut. RoboCop fell from the top of a skyscraper onto a gas tank and that exploded... and he was fine.

Boomstick: The Terminator was blown up by a homemade pipe bomb.

"A pipe bomb? I guess the Terminator isn't that durable then."

Wiz: RoboCop pushed a building-busting bomb into a warehouse, that's solid brick by the way, which detonated in his face... and he was fine.

Boomstick: The Terminator was obliterated by the same kind of explosion.

"And that's why we have aura and semblance." Blake said.

Wiz: RoboCop stopped and REVERSED a 3000 psi hydraulic press with his bare hands.

Yang is impressed with his strength.

"I think we get it now." Weiss said.

Terminator is crushed by another hydraulic press

Boomstick: Y-you guys see where this is going, right?

Weiss said nothing as the other three chuckled at that timing.

Wiz: And being part human Murphy can think more creatively, adding a level of unpredictability the Terminator could not immediately understand.

Boomstick: The Terminator almost had a victory, until it blew up in his face.

Yang laughed at the pun again.

Wiz: The winner is RoboCop.

RWBY cheered for RoboCop since he was the more heroic guy they looked up to.

As RWBY prepared for bed, they saw this.

Boomstick: Next time on Death Battle.

The heard a chilling music and a fiery background.

Then they saw a figure RWBY could barely see but they could see he has a mustache and a cap with an L on it.

Then they saw another figure that looked like a fox... with two tails.

RWBY felt interested but had to wait for tomorrow as they go to bed and fall asleep.
